Fix Android App Battery Drain When Chromecasting
Devices Tested:
Google Pixel 6
Google Pixel XL
OnePlus 6T
Twitch App Version 13.0.0
Ever since the latest Twitch App update on Android, the battery drains when Chromecasting to a TV, as if the stream is playing full-screen on the phone. In a test, the battery on my Pixel 6 drained from 100% to 10% in one hour, with the Twitch App accounting for 99% of the usage, despite video playback being on a TV and the phone being in sleep mode.

Battery drain is incredibly high on a Pixel 7 while Chromecasting as well. 15% of my battery in an hour

Yup. Me as well. And the phone gets super, super hot. It's clearly doing something it is not supposed to.
